Positive Steps To Wellbeing Worksheet

Teaching a client in therapy how to maintain healthy habits for mental wellness is an important part of the therapeutic process. Clients learn a great deal during therapy, and ensuring they acquire skills to cope with life's challenges helps to promote their success.

It is also important to guide the client in the necessary steps to ensure that they build and maintain healthy habits to preserve their mental and physical health outside of therapy. Providing clients with positive and healthy habits for wellbeing helps them boost confidence, self-sufficiency, and healing.

Instructions

The Positive Steps To Wellbeing worksheet provides clients with a brief overview and helpful tips about mental, physical, and social wellbeing. Each section has reflection questions following the overviews.

Begin by presenting this worksheet and reviewing each type of wellbeing with the client. You may also start a dialog about how the material applies to them and how they want to boost their overall wellbeing.

After reviewing the worksheet with the client, give them time to complete the reflection questions. You may help them formulate their responses if needed.
